Compose a miniature, Duration 1-3 min, placed almost at the end of the masterpiece.

Deal with the following statements:

  • Down with the trumpet (sounds too off-european)

 

  • Only three tones per instrument per bar.

 

  • Fewer notes. More vibrato.

 

  • No special effects.

 

  • Writing either better music than Lachenmann or OTHER MUSIC than Lachenmann.

 

  • Today's music has to be PRECISE. Today's music needs CLEAR STATEMENTS! Every statement must have a consequence.

 

  • Program: At the beginning: Depression, problems. At the end: New hope.

 

  • You need one (or several) idea(s). Search in the inner self. Or go to psychoanalysis or hypnosis. Sink into deep. You need to take more risks. You have to be ashamed of your work. Make inquiries in China. Think about capitalism. It's everywhere now. Avoid all in the internet.
